Hitech or Skuzzy - getting discoed when arena cap changes
« Reply #15 on: February 22, 2007, 11:52:19 AM »
I don't get disco'ed all that much, but if I lose UDP or get kicked, 9 times out of 10 that I run PingPlotter immediately, I see something happening between my PC and HTC- high packet loss, pings changing wildly at Savvis or the first ATT hop, my ISP dying consistently at midnight on a Saturday, etc.

The intardnet is magic, and therefore prone to behaving strangely.

It's pretty straight forward, and easy to use. Small program that lets you see what's happening with your connection.

I don't know if this applies to me, but for the last 3 weeks or so, I have been getting disco'ed a lot!  Never had that problem before.

I also have some sort of "lag" logging in most weekends and during peak times.  If there are over say, 200 to 300 people in an arena, it will let me in...but it just sits there.  No chat text shows up, no one on the roster, no radar on the map, and after a few minutes it's "Host Connection Lost"-ville.

It's only when there are a lot of players on, and yes, it seems like when i DO get in and the arena caps change...I get the BOOT.

Never happened before the last 3 weeks or so.  

Numerous (somtimes every day) virus, spyware, adware, malware scans with very good detection shows jack.
